Answer:CH3â€"CH2â€"CHClâ€"CH3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is due to Makownikov's rule which states that the negative part of the addendum adds to the carbon atom with the least numberbif hydrogen atoms. Another explanation is that, this product is formed from a secondary carbocation which makes it thermodynamically more stable. Compared to the minor product formed from a primary carbocation.
